General information about the trial
|
|||
Main objective of the trial |
The main objective is to assess the safety and tolerability of the combination of veltuzumab and /or epratuzumab with chemotherappy for recurrent adult B-precursor acute lymphoblastic leukaemia
|
||
Protection of trial subjects |
Patients will be pre-medicated with chlorphenamine and paracetamol as per local policy, before the start of each antibody infusion, in order to minimise infusional toxicity (hypersensitivity).
Patients will be pre-medicated with chlorphenamine (10mg IV) and paracetamol (1g PO), 30-60 minutes prior to the start of each antibody infusion in order to minimise hypersensitivity (if two antibodies are given only one dose of chlorphenamine and paracetamol is needed).

NB: Urgent Safety Measure
In light of signals of liver toxicity being experienced by some patients, the DMC was convened. This toxicity was attributed to the PEG-Asparaginase (nIMP) component of the chemotherapy back bone. Committee recommended an USM be implemented which prescribes changes to the dose of PEG-Asparaginase (nIMP) based on patient disease status, age and any conmeds/comorbidity. These are summarised below:
2 doses of asparaginase – Day 4 and Day 18
• Patients who are being treated with curative intent - this will typically be younger, fitter patients in first relapse heading for an allograft procedure in CR2
• If patients in this group suffer >grade 2 liver toxicity after the first dose of asparaginase, the second dose, on Day 18, should be omitted.
1 dose of asparaginase – Day 18
• Those patients who do not fit into either above or below category, at physician’s discretion.
0 doses of asparaginase
• Over 60 years of age.
• Philadelphia positive on TKIs.
• On third line therapy.
• Have chronic/underlying liver co-morbidities, including but not limited to liver GVHD or a history of liver disease.
• Grade 2 Baseline LFTs.
To ensure that these safety measures are effective, mandated expedited reporting of all liver toxicity of grade 3 and grade 4 with a further review of safety data after 10 patients have been recruited to Cohort C of the trial.
|
||
18 Jul 2012 |
Urgent safety measure - changes to the dose of PEG-Asparaginase (NIMP) based on patient disease status, age and any concomitant medications/ co morbidity. The expedited reporting of all liver toxicity of grade 3 and grade 4 was additionally mandated in this amendment.
|

Interruptions (globally) |
|||
Were there any global interruptions to the trial? No | |||
Limitations and caveats |
|||
Limitations of the trial such as small numbers of subjects analysed or technical problems leading to unreliable data. | |||
The MARALL Trial was terminated prematurely in October 2014 due to lack of veltuzumab supply from the manufacturer (Immunomedics) - it should be noted that the decision to stop supply was not related to drug safety or efficacy. |
